The Crusaders have promoted three more All Blacks to their starting line-up while the Hurricanes have recalled Cory Jane for the warm-up clash in Mangatainoka this Saturday.

All Blacks Owen Franks, Sam Whitelock and Israel Dagg will all start for the Crusaders this week. Meanwhile, Adam Whitelock replaces Ryan Crotty who injured his hamstring in the last hit-out against the Highlanders. Coach Todd Blackadder has also opted for Tom Taylor at flyhalf.

Jane is promoted to the Hurricanes’ starting line-up after playing off the bench against the Blues last week. Beauden Barrett will start at flyhalf for the Wellington-based franchise.
